I
went and finished all of my Christmas shopping today. There sure was a lot of people in town
today. You could hardly find a parking
spot in the whole lot in front of the mall.
I’m glad that it’s all over. I
bought a truck for Skip and took it down to Blackfoot. He sure doesn’t like staying in the hospital
but it’s better to have a hernia taken care of when you are young. The truck seemed to cheer him up quite a
bit. I sure feel sorry for him. He has had quite a life. It’s hard for Mauna to be both Mom and Dad
plus try to work. She sure is doing a
good job though. Becky and I try to help
him all that we can. We went to the show
last night. The name was “The Way We
Were.” It wasn’t too bad of a show
except I can’t stand Barbara Streisand.
I guess that’s how you spell it.
It sure seemed good to be with Becky.
Seems like all of my friends aren’t come back next semester. They are getting married. Kim in February and
Dee in April. I went and practiced
basketball up at the church tonight. I
probably should have stayed home and read that stupid Walden for English. I sure
have got a lot of work to do before school is out. I am going to have to cut out a few of my
activities until it is. I sure am
dreading those finals. I’m afraid that
psy. And chem.. will give me a little trouble.
I sure hope not. I need to keep
my grades up so I can get accepted to some other university. Hopefully Utah or Southern Cal. I sure hope I can afford it and not have to
stop for awhile and work. I really need
to find a good job this summer so I can go next year. Becky is going to have to work so we can. I sure don’t want her to but I guess she will
have to until I complete school. Can’t
think of too much more to say and besides its late and I have early Priesthood
meeting in the morning. I can’t miss
because I feel I owe it to the Lord. He
has blessed me in so many ways. I can’t
understand how people can even begin to think that there is no God. If they would open their eyes and quit
staring at the material things in life they would be able to see. I’m glad I only have to account for the
things I do. Which is too darn many. I’m glad that we have a fair judge. I know I sure would hate to even try to. Thank heaven for repentance.

Wow,
what a day. When I got up this morning I
had a million things to do and never got one thing done. Had a real good priesthood meeting this
morning. We talked on salvation and I
really learned a lot. I brought Becky
out to church tonight. Afterwards we
were going to decorate our tree but instead took a little one down to Mom in
the hospital. We put a few lights and
bulbs on it and it really looked cute. She really appreciated it. I sure have a lot of studying to do this
week. I have got to study for a English
test. I’m glad he is only giving us half
now and half later. I know I’ll do better that way. I’ve got to read the book Walden by Thoreau by Wednesday for the
same class. I guess I had better get
going.

I
started reading Walden today. It is the hardest book to get started reading
I have ever tried. I just have to force
myself into reading. I’ll be glad when
I’ve got it done. Talked to Mom today
and the Dr. says she could come home for Christmas and stay. She has to go into physical therapy about
twice but it sure will be nice to have her home. She sure has been in the hospital a long
time. Well since the middle of
July. I got quite a bit a studying done
today so I feel a little relieved of all the pressure. I sure will be glad when the 19th
is over with. Then I will be for a few
weeks. I’m going to try to work at Fresh
Pak during the vacation so I can pay back my tuition. Mark found out that I might be able to work
at the site during the summer. So next
week I’m going to go put my application in.
I pays about $3.87 an hour so I could probably that that. Well I guess I had better get to reading or I
won’t be able to finish. Got our TV back
today. It sure works good now I don’t
have to bother anyone.

Not
a whole lot happened today. I tried
forcing myself into finishing Walden
but couldn’t do it. I didn’t understand a
thing he was saying. He talked so weird
and used such big and funny words that I couldn’t hardly read it. I don’t see how we can be tested on it. Only about one week of school left. A bunch of the Menan kids are going to play
the freshmen from Midway tomorrow at 4:00 then at 9:00 we play Menan II in a
church game at Roberts. So I should get
in my share of basketball then. I hope I
don’t get too tired. I thought I was
over my cold but it seem like it has come back.
I’ve had a stuffed up nose and a headache all day today. Sure missed not talking to Becky today and I
probably won’t have a chance tomorrow either.
Thursday we are going to Ron and Chris’s wedding reception in I.F. and
then Friday we will probably go to the Rigby-Salmon game. Rigby had better win but I doubt they
will. All the talent graduated in
“73”. The best year of course. The only reason I would go back to high school
is to play basketball. It was a lot of
fun.
